  "Witness the Sky's Most Magical Display"

The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, is a natural light display predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic, including parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Canada. This spectacular phenomenon occurs when charged particles from the sun enter Earth's atmosphere and collide with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, creating a dazzling display of colors that dance across the night sky.
